that is what you want to do, you need to keep it wet but not frozen.

Is it ok to leave the pump in the water for the winter as long as it
does not freeze? I leave my waterfall pump running all winter. This ensures that thereis always oxygenated water in the pond even if the entire surface iscovered in ice If you take your pump out for the winter ( which I don't recommend) you must store it in water or the seals will dry out and it will be ruined. You should not run your pump when it is cold enough to form ice on top....the pump will pull the lowest layer of water....that is the warmest layer and it will return much colder water to the pond. If you feel you MUST run it...then raise the bottom of the pump at least 1 foot. The pump as I am sure you know should never be sitting on the bottom anyway.
